He shows for me ((
http://www.chess.com/members/view/Taffer_Queue) profile here) but I'm not sure he's been online since he registered. In other news, I actually won a game although I'm sure faetal was occupied with his other 20 games he was dealing with so I got away with some dreadful blunders.
That was possibly my worst game yet :P
I can't believe the amount of mistakes I made.
I think I may have to set my game limit to three, else just spend far more time on each move. Will try both and see which gives the best results.
I've also managed to massively hamstring myself with PigLick, going from a significant advantage to almost even with a few really poor choices :(

haha yeh I thought I was gone and then, bam queen!
in all seriousness, I have learnt a lot playing against you guys, really opened my eyes.

I swear it's the number of games making me feel like I have to be quicker. Whereas with SubJeff I was taking my time with the moves, having 6 games happening at once (down to 3 now, thank goodness), with 4 being quite active, I wound up spending less than a minute deciding moves. Poor form :(

hey it is correspondence chess, take yer time, we all have actual lives.
faetal on 27/6/2013 at 12:43
True, though SubJeff does get a little shouty if you slow down ;)
I've learned a lesson though, good and proper :)
More thinking time required.
Can't even begin to think how people play speed chess :/

People just seem to take a break at crucial moments!

Sorry if I ruined nap time ;P

Gotta remember I think I am the only southern hemisphere guy. This time of night I am usually a bit foggy, if you know what I mean.
SubJeff on 27/6/2013 at 20:04
Gawd you guys think you're rusty. I've been counting mistakes I shouldn't have made and I'm making several per game.
I don't mind being outplayed - in my first game against Nuth I lost my Queen because I was simply outplayed.
But in the second I was in a strong position and made one crucial mistake that ruined it for me.
My last game against PigLick was a demo of how not to do it. I got lucky no less than 3 times but the truth is I made so many errors I deserved to lose.
If I don't buck up soon you guys will overtake me.

Sorry I haven't been around today SubjEff. I moved & am around now.

In another week I'll be in Tokyo so we won't be so time-zone challenged. Except, you know, that's an East/West hemisphere thing, not North/South ;) ... unless it's the cold winter nights that are also getting to you.
